Early Reconstructions of Complex Lower Extremity Battlefield Soft Tissue Wounds
BACKGROUND Severe lower extremity trauma as a devastating combat related injury is on the rise and this presents reconstructive surgeons with significant challenges to reach optimal cosmetic and functional outcomes. This study assessed early reconstructions of complex lower extremity battlefield soft tissue wounds. METHODS This was a prospective case series study of battled field injur...
متن کاملUpper extremity nerve injuries: the significance of soft tissue associations
The morbidity and social cost is found to be very high for upper extremity nerve injuries. Despite the fast advances in scientific studies and technology, a complete recovery following peripheral nerve injuries is still not possible, though, comprehensible progression in this field is obtained especially following microsurgery techniques. The aim of this study, is to present the anatomical loca...
متن کاملReconstruction of soft tissue and bone defects in lower extremity with free flaps.
This article reports our experiences treating soft tissue and bone defects in the lower extremity with free flaps. One of the most common causes for lower extremity wounds are high-energy injuries. These kinds of injuries contain soft tissue and bone defects beyond neurovascular complications. The rate of infection and nonunion is very high in these injuries. Between 1988 and 1996, we applied 3...
متن کاملAbstract: Soft Tissue Reconstruction and Salvage of Infected Fixation Hardware in Lower Extremity Trauma
BACKGROUND Tibial fracture management may be complicated by infection of internal fixation hardware (iIFH) resulting in increased morbidity and amputation rate. When iIFH removal is not possible, salvage of the lower extremity is attempted through debridement, antibiotics, and vascularized soft tissue coverage. This study investigates lower extremity salvage with retention of iIFH. METHODS De...
متن کاملAbstract: Outcomes of Soft Tissue Reconstruction for Lower Extremity Fractures with Compromised Vascularity
METHODS: The results of LNT for LEL were compared between the conventional single LNT group (control group; n = 21 limbs), the multiple LNFs group (n = 13), and the prefabricated lympho-venous shunt group (n = 13) in terms of volume improvement (the LEL index), lymphoscintigraphy findings, and the rate of functional survival and lymph node sizes (evaluated using ultrasonography) at 6 months aft...
